Sailing Gains Ground, Enters ICSA Final Day Five Points Back

MADISON, Wis.--The Harvard sailing team cut 13
points off Boston College's lead on Day 2 of the ICSA/Gill Coed
Dinghy National Championship Wednesday on Lake Mendota and enters
Friday's final day of competition in second place, just five points
behind the Eagles.

The A-division pair of juniors Alan Palmer and Meghan Wareham
opened the day with a win to cut into the BC lead and finished
strong with a third-place showing in the fourth race of the day,
moving into third in the division standings.

Weather and daylight allowed only three B-division races to be
completed. John Stokes and Michelle Konstadt placed seventh in
the first and 11th in the second. Stokes and Quincy Bock finished
eighth in the third. Harvard remains in second place in the
division.

The start of Thursday's racing has been moved up to 8:30 a.m. in
an effort to fit in the entire competition. Harvard has 132 total
points to BC's 127. Lurking close behind are Brown and St. Mary's
with 142 points each and fifth-place Georgetown with 143.
